Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has indicated that former striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer can eventually become his replacement.
The 38-year old Norwegian has commenced his managerial career in fine style by guiding Molde to the 2011 Eliteserien title and Ferguson feels he has what it takes to make it at the top as a head coach.
"Whereas Ole always wanted to stay in the game, so from an early age he was preparing stay in the game as a coach or as a manager, as he is at the moment. So he has given himself a better chance than the rest.
"Ole was always one of the professionals that used to take down all the notes from the training sessions and games.
"He has got an inner toughness, there's no doubt about that,' added the United manager. 'He is a nice man with a lovely manner about him.
"If you go to a club in Norway that have never won the league ever in their history and you win the league you have to have something about you to do that.
"He has brought in his own staff. He's brought two coaches from United as part of his structure to the club so he knew where he was going. A useful thing to have in management is good decision making.
"It's possibly one of the most important things and he has been decisive, so yes he has got a lot going for himself.""I think the problem for a lot of footballers today is that when they get to the end of their careers they decide they want to become coaches because they have nothing else in their mind that they think they can do," Ferguson said.
